Photos: The Hives at MIA Fest

Made in America Festival, Philadelphia, PA, 9.2.2012 – Nothing says Made in America like a bad-ass Swedish band killing it in front of a huge American flag. And that is exactly what happened at the Museum of Art when The Hives took the stage on day 2 of Jay Z’s Made in America festival. Check out the photos of The Hives by clicking through the break.

The Hives were easily my favorite band to shoot at Made in America and one of my favorite bands ever to shoot. The only way shooting The Hives would have been better was if the pit was bigger and less crowded. Every member of The Hives brings a ton of energy and the fans at Made in America ate them up.
